Catch up time...

Well! It has been a while since I posted to this blog. Almost a whole month has passed. And I have to say that the reason why I have not been blogging much is that I have just not had time!

You wouldn't think that there would be such a rush of people wanting to have their dogs groomed and bathed before a holiday, but there is. Everyone wants to take clean dogs to Mom's house for Thanksgiving (including me). My phone didn't stop ringing until Wednesday before Thanksgiving.

I had to actually turn people away. I could have worked 24 hours a day for those few days before the holiday, and still would not have gotten them all in. Trouble with that is that a tired groomer is an impatient groomer, and the one thing you need more than anything for this job is patience. So I paced myself pretty well. I did have a couple of long days, (and have one tomorrow, as a matter of fact), but was able to manage it all.

The shop has been closed since Thursday - five whole days off in a row. But, this week is already pretty full. I expect it will continue at this pace through Christmas, and then drop off. It's great to make hay while the sun shines, as the saying goes.

I have no pics to post, as the few that I did take were pretty bad. I will start taking pics more regularly tomorrow, and will post some soon (promise).
